Abstract
Combined with previous expeditions to the high-altitude peaks of the Pamir mountains, the Ecosystem Health Team set out in the winter of 2006 to clarify the status of a number of resident, breeding, wintering and migratory birds that occur in this unique landscape, including the Lammergeier and Ibisbill. Eight new species to the region were also recorded during this trip. This is the first document since seminal survey work was conducted here in the 1970s and helps to improve our knowledge of the avifauna in the Afghan Pamirs.
